Montana Jordan, the young actor who captured audiences’ attention as Georgie Cooper in Young Sheldon and now in the sequel spinoff Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, is giving credit where it’s due. At just 21 years old, Jordan has already been part of a legacy franchise connected to The Big Bang Theory, and he believes its continued success lies in the brilliance of its creators.
Speaking with Us Weekly, Jordan expressed admiration for Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro, and Steve Holland—the powerhouse trio behind The Big Bang Theory universe. Their ability to craft stories that resonate with millions, according to Jordan, is nothing short of “TV magic.”
“There’s so much longevity in everything that [Chuck] writes,” Jordan explained, pointing to the enduring nature of shows penned by Lorre. “If you watch any of his shows, there’s just so much truth and realism in his writing.”
Jordan’s comments reflect what many fans already know: Lorre and his team have an uncanny ability to balance humor with humanity. From Two and a Half Men to Mom, and of course The Big Bang Theory and its prequel Young Sheldon, Lorre’s creations consistently strike a chord because they mirror real-life situations beneath the comedic surface.
The actor emphasized how the themes at the core of these shows never lose their relevance. “It’s like the real world. The family dynamics and problems with being young parents, grandparents, and sibling issues—it’s relatable as hell. I don’t think that ever gets old.”
Jordan’s perspective comes from firsthand experience. As Georgie Cooper, he has portrayed a teenager grappling with responsibility, romance, and family conflict, all within the framework of a sitcom. What began as a secondary role in Young Sheldon has since blossomed into a leading part in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, a spinoff centered around Georgie’s relationship with Mandy (played by Emily Osment).
The new series explores young parenthood, marriage struggles, and generational challenges, themes Jordan says are at the heart of the show’s universal appeal. Fans see bits of their own lives reflected on screen, whether it’s the stress of raising children, navigating romantic relationships, or clashing with family. That, he insists, is why audiences remain invested.
Beyond discussing the show’s success, Jordan also shared his thoughts on what the future of the franchise might look like. When asked about potential spinoffs, he didn’t hesitate to offer a suggestion.
“I think Connor’s spinoff would be really great,” Jordan said, referring to his co-star Connor, whose character is gradually becoming more prominent in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. “His character is starting to blossom a lot and they’re having fun with it. He’s a good character.”
While Jordan didn’t reveal specific details, his enthusiasm suggests there could be room for yet another branch in the ever-expanding Big Bang Theory universe. With The Big Bang Theory running for 12 seasons and Young Sheldon holding its own across seven successful seasons, the possibility of more spinoffs isn’t far-fetched. The CBS network has long recognized the value of the franchise and continues to explore new storytelling angles.
Jordan’s acknowledgment of his colleagues also speaks to his grounded nature. At an age when many actors are still searching for breakthrough roles, he has already cemented his place in one of television’s most popular franchises. Yet, instead of focusing solely on his own achievements, he highlights the collective effort behind the scenes—the writers, producers, and co-stars—who, in his words, create stories that feel both timeless and real.
The actor’s comments resonate strongly at a time when audiences are craving authenticity in entertainment. Sitcoms of the past often thrived on exaggerated characters and outlandish humor. While those remain fun, Jordan believes what sets the Lorre-led productions apart is their foundation in everyday struggles that everyone can relate to. Whether it’s a sibling rivalry, marital tension, or the joys and hardships of raising children, these narratives strike a balance between laughter and truth.
As for Jordan himself, his career trajectory looks promising. From his breakout as the teenage version of Georgie to stepping into leading-man territory, he continues to evolve alongside the character he plays. His enthusiasm for future projects, especially his idea for a potential Connor spinoff, indicates that he sees the franchise not just as a job, but as a storytelling universe with endless possibilities.
For fans of The Big Bang Theory and its growing family of spinoffs, Jordan’s words are both a tribute to the creative minds who started it all and a hopeful glimpse into what might come next. With a combination of timeless themes, relatable characters, and fresh storytelling, the franchise seems poised to continue entertaining audiences for years to come.
